Writer and entrepreneur Zoe Foster Blake and her radio and television broadcaster husband Hamish Blake have sold their Victorian-based home for a record breaking amount.

The house went to auction due to the high volume of contenders, and was originally fetching between $5.9 and $6.3 million, however has reportedly sold for $7.435 million.

The winning bid was more than a million dollars above the asking price and the sale has set a new price record in the Victorian suburb of Richmond. The suburb's previous record high was a sold for $5.3 million back in 2018.

The couple had lived in the house since 2015, but have since re-located to Zoe's hometown, Sydney. Hamish shared the news to social media back in December, revealing they'd planned to relocate for years as Zoe's beauty company Go-To is based in Sydney.

“The loose plan is for a few years, but however long it’s for, we’re excited for this adventure with our little fam,” Hamish wrote to Instagram. 

The contemporary 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom house which featured on Grand Designs Australia, was designed by Neil Architecture and is now under offer.

The pair renovated the main bathroom with the help of stylist Angela Harry, which showcases terrazzo stone and a steam room. "Our bathroom is finished. You’ll always be in my heart, but no longer in my Instagram feed," Zoe wrote to Instagram when the project wrapped up.
